If an application is not running and you haven’t worked with it recently, and if you are not currently targeting it in a script, you can open its dictionary window in the following ways:

• In any open dictionary window, locate the application in the dictionaries list on the left side of the window under All, and click it.

• In the dictionaries inspector, locate the application under All. Double-click its name, or select its name and click Dictionary, or select its name and choose Open XXX Dictionary from the contextual menu.

• Choose File > Open. This brings up a dialog where you can choose anything. If what you choose is an application or scripting addition, its dictionary will open.

• Choose File > Open Dictionary > Application. This brings up a dialog where you can choose an application or scripting addition to open its dictionary.

• Locate the application or scripting addition in the Finder and drag its icon onto Script Debugger’s icon in the Finder or the Dock.

• Locate the application or scripting addition in the Finder and drag its icon onto a Script Debugger script window. Script Debugger will put up a dialog asking what you want to do. One of the options is to open the application’s dictionary window.

NOTE: Script Debugger can also open an sdef file directly, and will present its dictionary window as if you had opened a scriptable application. This is intended as an aid if you’re developing or editing an sdef.
